Abstract: A card connector (1) includes an insulative header (2), terminals (3) retained in the header, and an ejection mechanism (4) latchably mounted on the header. The header includes two arms (21), and defines passageways (2000) receiving the terminals. The ejection mechanism includes a driving device (40), and a swing arm (46) movably connected to the driving device. The driving device includes a combined portion (41) latchably mounted on one arm. A heart-shaped cam groove (411) is defined in a top wall of the combined portion. The groove has cam surfaces (4110-4115) formed thereat. A metallic piece (412) is provided on side walls of the combined portion at the groove, corresponding to two of the surfaces. The metallic piece enhances a strength of said side walls, and protects said side walls from friction wear when the ejection mechanism ejects an integrated circuit card out from the card connector.
